"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

Salt and pepper to taste
Cut enough florets to measure 2 cups. Cut rest of broccoli into 1-
in.pieces. Cook florets and broccoli pieces, separately, in lightly
salted water until just tender. (Florets will be done first).
Immediately rinse in cold water. Drain. Set florets aside until
serving time. In a large saucepan saute leeks in butter until tender;
usually about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and cook one more minute,
stirring with whisk. Remove from heat and stir in broth. Return to
heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli
pieces to broth and puree in blender in batches, until smooth. Just
before serving, blend in cream and Swiss cheese. Simmer gently until
cheese melts. Add nutmeg, salt, pepper. Add reserved florets and heat
through.
